Electricians on board?
Evening chaps, sure we have a few sparkies here. Just doing the bathroom ATM and wish to fit an extractor fan. I've chosen one that's suitably large for the bathroom and an inline 240v model, this was for a few reasons but mostly for a safety aspect. It requires a switched live permanent live and neutral. We have an electric shower and the instructions recommend to use the supply from the lighting. This means everytime the lights go on for a wee the timer will be on for 20 minutes, seems a bit silly. So I thought I could utilise the shower switch. Pre switch live=permenant live Post switch live= switched live Pre switch neutral=neutral Does that seem acceptable? Should I fit a fused isolator for the fan supply?

Is this the thin end of the Wedge?
The job of the law is to punish the young for doing the same things the previous generation did without prosecution. That's bull I know but you get my point, kids used to be kids now their hooligans, most don't do anything new it's just the world has changed around them. I also enjoy the hypocrisy of many of the ruling class/age, 95% of young people wouldn't dream of having 3-8 pints then driving home, yet pops will, he always has and won't stop now just cos it's illegal. He will damn well point out your hooligan like nature for daring to be sitting around chatting in public. I love life, it's full of knobs. Most of them are in charge as well, at least they think things through and spend out money properly not treat us like cash cows and treat grown adults like children.

There is a local banger racing oval near me, charges a nominal fee it's a meet and they do drift evenings. I haven't been to it as it's not my thing and driving my car on a concrete walled oval with the chance of broken glass and metal fragments doesn't float my boat, it's an option for some though.

Unenforcable drivel. You can ban friends with the same car going to the same place at the same time.

If I were to sell my Zed...
TVRs are often beautiful, the looks, the sound, they have it all but yes tail happy hero.

Ruff engine no umph!
Totally agree, which is what makes it even more annoying. The same principals apply many parts are similar if not the same. it's almost as if many places just can't be bothered. It's a daunting engine but the same rules apply it's not actually that complex.

I hate stuff like that, I expect a cause and rectification quote and I don't expect to chase the garage for news. Time to take it to someone who knows about z32s, generic jap specialists are never much cop for these cars IMO.

I met my hero, so I know what they are like and your right not a patch in a zed to drive but it's a different sort of pleasure it's about the pantomine.

And speaking of terrible-fitting upholstery...
Yeah, your supposed to do things like that as a labour of love not a bish bash bosh job.

And speaking of terrible-fitting upholstery...
Ouch, that's not great. He's obviously put some time and money into that but the details have been rushed. The filler on the back pannel is of the same standard.

That's a beauty! Modern cars are so often bland, or just tacky. Very few new cars now have timeless good looks.

For me it would be for one of these; http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/221606219679?nav=SEARCH My perfect one is a year or two older than that and not that colour but hell it's close enough for my point.

Hicas delete query
Seems silly to just leave useless pipes wafting around in the breeze...the proper way is to delete ALL of it and use an NA pump and reservoir, that brings complications though as it's not just the pump the bracket is required yarde yarde yar. IMO it's acceptable to bypass the hicas feed line directly back to the pot. I'm doing mine this winter and have a few ideas to try.

What did you do to your zed today?
No no, strictly summer use only my car. Work time=Company vehicle in any event, wouldn't want to drive the zed for work it would be ruined within 6 months and every two or three years it would need an engine rebuild the miles I do.

What did you do to your zed today?
Haha! I should of put money on that really. A friend of mine was quite a high up manager there but works elsewhere now. I was offered a job there but turned it down. There's very little work round here apart from those call centre jobs and hospitality. My office where I work now isn't to far from you in Hailsham ironically.

Ruff engine no umph!
They can tell wether the injector is duff or wether there is a power signal going to it? You could teach yourself and execute that in 10 minutes flat.
